Ive got a stupid habit of kicking out at inanimate objects. Earlier this evening i kicked my daughters huge and heavy toy box. Convinced ive broke my big toe cos its lovely and black and quite swelled. If my foot is not raised im finding it throbs really bad. Sound like a wuss i know but its really quite painfull.   Is it worth pissing about up hospital? and has anyone else's childish temper tantrum ever resulted in something being broken? |

i did the same thing a while ago and you should defo get it checked out. apparantly if you break any other toe, you just have to strap it to the next one and it heals, but the biggys a different beast. i also got myself os trigonum syndrome in the ankle at the same time(which really fucking hurt and turned black and swelled up)
better to be safe than sorry

Twice...!
Once in a swimming gala doing a tipple over turn, and once when I dropped a washing machine off the top of a table onto it...VERY PAINFUL.
I went to the hospital but there wasn't much point in the end.

Broke mine in 2 places a few years back an agony wasn't the word. It was hanging at a strange angle and I couldnt walk on it.
Defo go and get it checked.

Better go and get it check, even if it's not a bad enough break to need treatment compensating when you walk could affect the rest of your foot.

I've broke mine twice. The first time was playing 5 a side and i kicked the boarding after being fouled. After hours in A and E, and being told it was broke, they sent me back to my GP for pain killers and frig all else. The second time i broke it was earlier this year when i kicked a kerb. Knew straight away it was gone again, and could actually feel the fracture. Just dosed me sen up with pain killers after the previous farce and had a week off work. Took me weeks to walk on it proper again, and its still got a gorgeous bulge...

Never been checked up but I'm pretty sure I've broke my big toe, and others a few times, all I can say it do not attempt to do anything on it until the swelling goes down at least.
I kicked my makes wall in the back yard of his house pissing around playing footy and still decided to go and play 5 a side the same night even though i could barely walk, well it was not to bad until i kicked the ball with the outside of my foot and it felt like someone had just taken a sledgehammer to my foot and then poked 100 needles in it just to make sure.
The last time I did it i couldn't walk properly for a good month and the swelling didn't go down for at least 4 months, and I've still got a lump on it now.
